Who did Peter say Jesus was in the Acts 10 sermon?
Peter declared Jesus to be the Messiah of Israel, the Son of God, the Redeemer, and the King of the chosen people, fulfilling the Abrahamic covenant. He also said God ordained Him to be judge of the quick and the dead.
Les explains that in this sermon Peter is not declaring that Christ died, shed His blood, and rose from the dead as the means of salvation; he is rehearsing who Jesus was. Les says Peter identifies Him as the Messiah of Israel, the Son of God, the Redeemer, and the King of the chosen people, in fulfillment of the Abrahamic covenant. Les notes that God raised Him the third day, showed Him to chosen witnesses, and ordained Him to be judge of the quick and the dead. At that point Peter knows nothing more than that.
